Chapter 165 Chapter 165 Flood
The next morning
He Junxia and Sister Zeng's family packed up all their things and placed them by the corridor waiting for the boat to arrive.
It was not very bright at this moment, and the sunlight was faint. Schools of fish in the water jumped out of the water from time to time, drawing clean silver crescents in the sky.
"Puff," "Puff," "Puff"
The crescent moons all dived into the water together, their movements more accurate than those of the best divers, without causing even a splash.
Zeng Qin looked at the active school of fish and suddenly remembered what Miao Yuexing said to the man yesterday afternoon.
Does this fish really eat people?
Zeng Qin was very curious.
In the past, she would have asked it as a joke, but after what happened yesterday, she, her husband, and even everyone in the building realized that neither of the two Miao brothers was easy to mess with.
Especially Miao Yuexing
He spoke softly with a smile on his face, but his words were so creepy that they gave people goosebumps.
Zeng Qin didn't dare to think any further. After returning home last night, she began to hesitate about whether to leave with the Miao family.
After all, the two of them are very scary when they get angry.
It was her husband who persuaded her kindly, saying that as long as they did not hurt Su Guizhi and Wei Lingyu, the two brothers were both easy to get along with.
——The son of the Wang family had made trouble so many times before, but they had never taken action. This time, it was because the man insulted Su Guizhi first that Miao Yueze could no longer bear it.
It was almost 11 a.m., and the sun was already scorching hot as a familiar green plastic boat finally sailed slowly into the community.
Zhang Liqin wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved to the people upstairs: "Xiaoxing, Sister Zeng, I'm here."
He Junxia saw that his face was flushed with heat: "Brother Zhang, come up and rest for a while, we will leave later."
Zeng Qin also said, "You look so hot. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Zhang Liqin touched his stomach and said embarrassedly, "I'm a little hungry. Sister Zeng, please get me something to eat. I'll pay you back when I get back."
He tied the boat to the security window on the fourth floor, and at the same time, he grabbed the window to gain leverage and climb over the wall. He Junxia helped him pull the boat ashore and fold it up.
"I have to pay for a meal. What do you think of me?"
Sister Zeng opened her luggage bag and took out a few packets of instant noodles. She smiled and said, "I don't want you to return it, but don't be disgusted. We'll have instant noodles for lunch."
"Xiaoxing, you should eat something too. I saw you had breakfast at five or six in the morning."
He Junxia did not refuse.
He took out a bag of instant noodles from the snakeskin bag beside him: "Sister Zeng, please cook all of this bag. I eat a lot."
Zeng Qin pretended to be angry: "Why are you two being so polite? You both call me sister, so why can't I just treat you to some instant noodles?"
No matter how big a person's appetite is, it is impossible for him to finish a bag of five instant noodles, especially the enlarged version.
Zeng's husband, Chen Keliang, said cheerfully, "Xiao Zhang, you've worked hard rowing back. And Xiao Xing, your boat has been a great help to us."
"Just let her go."
He Junxia and Zhang Liqin exchanged a glance and didn't refuse. They weren't short of food anyway, so they could just return it later when they had the chance.
He Juanxia nodded: "Okay, then thank you Sister Zeng and Brother Chen for letting us have a free meal."
Zeng Qin took out her key, opened the door, and went home. Her family's liquefied gas had run out ten days ago, so now she was cooking with a fire.
For this purpose, the couple even dismantled the wooden sofa.
Chen Keliang took out an iron basin that was burnt a little black, and put a few small pieces of wood and flammable paper and cotton wool in it.
He took out a lighter and lightly lit it. The flame burned along the cotton wool, and the small piece of wood gradually lit up with a scarlet flame.
Zeng Qin took an iron stand and placed it in the basin, and then placed a small iron basin that heated quickly on top of it, filled with clean mineral water.
She tore open the instant noodle package and threw all the noodles into the basin, while He Junxia and Zhang Liqin sat beside her and opened the seasoning packets.
As the fire in the iron basin grew bigger, the water in the small iron basin began to boil and the dough became slightly soft.
Zeng Qin used chopsticks to press down the dough that floated to the surface and threw all the seasonings into the basin.
In an instant, a spicy aroma filled the entire living room, making one's mouth water.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
A burst of gurgling sounds was heard, and Zhang Liqin lowered his head embarrassedly.
Zeng Qin laughed: "I knew you must be hungry. Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
After a few minutes, she scooped out a handful of curly noodles and put them into the large bowl she usually used for soup, and scooped out a few more spoonfuls of soup.
Zeng Qin handed the bowl and chopsticks to Zhang Liqin, and then did the same thing by handing another large bowl full of noodles to He Junxia.
She patted her chest and assured: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Xing, you two just eat without worry, there are plenty of instant noodles."
He Juanxia: "Okay, we will definitely not be polite to you and Brother Chen."
The four adults lowered their heads and ate noodles in big mouthfuls. All ten packets of instant noodles were eaten up, without even any soup left.
Zhang Liqin comfortably drank the last mouthful of noodle soup in his bowl and sighed, "I used to think instant noodles were junk food and didn't let my son Haoxuan eat them. He missed out on such a delicious food."
"It's definitely not good for your health to eat it frequently, but it's okay to indulge your cravings occasionally." Zeng Qin shared her parenting experience: "You can't be too lax about this kind of thing, but you can't be too strict either."
"If they're not allowed to eat any snacks, they'll go to college and no one will supervise them. They'll definitely eat snacks in retaliation, which will be even worse for their health."
Zhang Liqin nodded in agreement. After being a vegetarian for over a month, he was completely captivated by the spicy beef instant noodles.
People can't even empathize with their former selves.
He now feels that he was foolish for previously regarding instant noodles as the enemy of health.
How can something so delicious be unhealthy!
He Junxia: ...
He smiled lightly, leaning back in his chair with his eyes half closed. He had eaten too much carbohydrates and felt a little dizzy.
People don’t feel like moving after they’re full, and Zeng Qin and Chen Keliang are no exception.
Chen Keliang suggested: "How about we rest for half an hour before leaving?"
It doesn't matter whether they leave early or late. It's not even 1 p.m. yet, and they are not in a hurry, so why make things difficult for themselves?
All three of them agreed.
The four of them dozed off in the room with their eyes closed. The air was still filled with the aroma of instant noodles, and they were all marinated in it.
The people on the rooftop began to drool when they smelled the overbearing aroma coming from below, and their brains quickly sent commands to their bodies.
"Mom, I want to eat instant noodles."
"Dad, I want to eat instant noodles too."
Several children were jumping around and clamoring for instant noodles, and the adults who controlled the household supplies were also tempted.
Last week they found a room full of instant noodles in a wholesale market, and everyone had enough.
"Okay, let's have instant noodles for lunch today."
The aroma of instant noodles is the most overbearing. It spreads wildly across the rooftop, making people in other buildings who smell it very greedy.
But these people are not so lucky.
Some people are afraid of danger and dare not go out, or are unlucky and cannot find food, so they can only eat the meager food they have to comfort their stomachs.
Korean grass is similar to the second type.
But it wasn't that she was unlucky and couldn't find any food. Instead, the food she found with great effort had to be fed by four people.
She also brought back a few packets of instant noodles, but those noodles ended up in other people's stomachs.
But why? !
For the first time, the girl, who could only sleep on the balcony, began to think of rebelling.
*
Wake up and set off.
He Junxia and Zhang Liqin put on their life jackets and jumped onto the boat, while Zeng Qin and his wife stayed on the shore to throw away their luggage.
One bag, two bags, three bags...
There were four large bags of luggage on the boat. If the folding boat wasn't big enough, it might not have been able to fit them all.
Not only that, He Junxia also hung some small bags on both sides of the boat, and the bags were filled with empty mineral water bottles.
Don’t underestimate these empty water bottles. When there is no boat, one hundred mineral water bottles assembled together can form a boat with extremely strong support capacity.
As usual, He Junxia sat at the stern to control the direction, and the remaining three people and the luggage were evenly distributed on both sides of the boat.
Having just had a full meal, the three of them paddled very hard, sliding several meters in a second. After a while, they disappeared from the sight of everyone on the rooftop.
Seeing this, two families happily moved their luggage to 601 and 602, while the others living on the rooftop could only watch with envy.
Don't get me wrong, they have the keys. The Zeng and Miao families took the initiative to invite them to move in and take care of the house.
Zhou Zhengwen put down his luggage and sternly called out to the naughty child who was running around: "Zhou Xiuli, stop rummaging around and touching things. It's rude. This is someone else's home."
The child walked out from the balcony angrily.
The old man behind him couldn't bear it any longer: "Don't scold the child. He doesn't even have a bed on the rooftop. It's hard to have a room to live in. It's inevitable that the child will be excited."
Zhou Zhengwen said helplessly: "Mom, don't spoil him too much. It will be troublesome if he becomes like the Wang family's children."
The Wang family's parents have become the example of spoiling their children as if they were killing them in their building, causing many parents who love their children to start paying attention to their children's education.
The old lady was unhappy: "Well, you don't know our child's personality. He is very well behaved."
Zhou Zhengwen didn't say anything else, but just gave the child a threatening look when he turned around.
The child hid behind his grandmother in fear.
His grandmother didn't hit him hard, but his father really hit him, and it hurt a lot.
…
The green plastic boat filled with supplies created beautiful splashes on the water.
Zhang Liqin rowed the boat and suddenly asked, "Do you think the water is lighter than before?"
"Yeah?"
Zeng Qin tilted her head and looked down, and found that the color of the flood seemed to be lighter than at the beginning, but not obviously lighter.
She praised him, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed. You have really good eyesight."
"Haha, my eyesight is not very good, but I make a living from this line of work. If I can't distinguish colors, I will lose my job."
Zhang Liqin opened a repair shop in the county, and his most famous skill is repainting cars.
Just then, the boat passed by a small hospital. The fourth floor of the hospital had been flooded, and only the fifth and sixth floors survived.
Zhang Liqin saw the hospital sign and turned to He Junxia, "Xiaoxing, do you want to go say hello?"
"Need not."
He had already discussed with the three doctors and nurses who remained in the hospital and would pick them up in the afternoon.
As for the patients hospitalized in the hospital?
This hospital was just a small one, treating patients with headaches and fevers, with only a few inpatients. Seeing that the floodwaters hadn't receded and rescue workers hadn't shown up, the patients had already been taken away by their families.
Zhang Liqin looked away regretfully.
Young people are just thin-skinned and don’t know how difficult it is to get married nowadays. If you don’t take the initiative, there will be no story.
Fortunately, He Junxia didn't have the ability to read minds. If he knew what Zhang Liqin was thinking, he would have poured out everything in his head.
——Thinking about love all day long, all you see when you look at others is love.
Well, I'll talk to Sister Ye about it when I get back.
He Junxia narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her eyes slightly raised with a smile, making her look like a fox spirit.
Who doesn’t like to watch the fun?
